Locale:...:IBM866(3)
🦋 Locale::RecodeData::IBM866(3) — from the User Contributed Perl Documentation 🦋
okay bestie so this is a page out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the star of the show is Locale::RecodeData::IBM866(3). it's giving very niche, very internal, very "you probably got here by accident" energy, and honestly? we love that for it.
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::IBM866 — literally just conversion routines for IBM866. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!so like. no cap. this whole module belongs to libintl and it's an internal thing — please do not come for it and use it directly, bestie, i am begging 🫶 it's a backstage module. it does not want main character energy.
💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
this module is generated — like, auto-made, not hand-crafted artisanal code — and what it contains is the conversion tables and routines for IBM866. that's the whole deal. tables ✨ routines ✨ IBM866 ✨. iconic, honestly.
🎀 COMMENTS 🎀
the following comments were extracted from the original charmap, and we are preserving them exactly because they are lore:
automatically generated from the charDB
alias CP866
alias 866so the charmap says it was automatically generated from the charDB, and it gives us two aliases: CP866 and 866.
⚠️ heads up though — please note that aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! like, they're listed, sure, but don't just assume they work. do your own vibe check on that one. 🙈
👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑
okay so the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap — we're not out here reordering anything, we respect the original arrangement. 🧚
all character codes are in hexadecimal, fr fr. no decimals in this house.
and one very important reading instruction: please read ISO-10646 as ISO-10646-UCS4. same thing, different name tag. ⭐
…and that's where part 1 wraps — the actual table is coming at you next, so stay tuned bestie 💜🔥

No glyphs, no vibes, just pure behavior. 00 is NULL, 07 is BELL (yes, the one that used to actually beep at you 😭), 09 is HORIZONTAL TABULATION, 0A is LINE FEED, 0D is CARRIAGE RETURN, and 1B is ESCAPE — the icon of the whole block tbh 👑. Everything from 10 to 1F is DEVICE CONTROL numbers and separator drama, and it's giving "machine talking to machine, none of your business" energy. Respect it.

It runs 00000410 (CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A) up through 0000042F (CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER YA), and yes, the whole alphabet shows up: BE, VE, GHE, DE, IE, ZHE, ZE, I, SHORT I, KA, EL, EM, EN, O, PE, ER, ES, TE, U, EF, HA, TSE, CHE, SHA, SHCHA, then the signs — HARD SIGN, YERU, SOFT SIGN — and finally E, YU, YA. it's giving full alphabet main character energy 👑

LIGHT VERTICAL, LIGHT VERTICAL AND LEFT, VERTICAL SINGLE AND LEFT DOUBLE, VERTICAL DOUBLE AND LEFT SINGLE, DOUBLE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL at CE (the crown jewel, the icon, the one you actually use 👑), MIXED combos for days, and then D9/DA bring back LIGHT UP AND LEFT and LIGHT DOWN AND RIGHT to close the loop. then DB–DF is blocks only: FULL BLOCK, LOWER HALF BLOCK, LEFT HALF BLOCK, RIGHT HALF BLOCK, UPPER HALF BLOCK. it's giving "I built a whole TUI in 1993 and it ate 💅"
